ICCS CONVENTION

              My 6th entry!The days of being a college student seems so fast.I already encountered a lot of new experiences.Recently,last September 1,2013 was a great experience too!It was the ICCS convention or the "10th Big EdukCircle Convention on Media Media Communication" with its theme "Investigative Journalism" held in AFP Theater in Quezon City.There's a lot of students from different universities all around the Philippines.It was fun actually because we've seen different faces around the country.As i said,it was new experience.It was my first time to attend this kind of event.At first,i don't have any idea of what will happen.Will we just sit and listen?be bored?

           And this is what happened.I am surprised when Susan Enriquez and Mark Salazar came out on stage and will be the host for the whole time.They are known Tv personality in GMA 7.Ok,the first speaker of the event was Ms. Marites Danguilan.She talked about Risks and Ethics.In her speech,I've learrned that,in creating a documentary report,taking risks is a must.We should not fear anything.We should be brave enough of what will happen.We should be ready all the time because this job may give unexpected happenings.And ethics is an important thing that should journalist must learned too.

            Second speaker is,Ms. Love Anover,also a well-known tv personality and host.She showed a documentary entitled "Mangagamot".It was a catchy documentary.Why?because it was very creepy!(LOL)it is about a man who is not a licensed doctor but treat patients with his own tools.Yes,it was illegal but he was a well known "mangagamot" in their place.There's a lot of screams and shouts from the audience.It's like,we're watching a horror movie :) And in Ms. Love speech,I've learned that teamwork is one of the key in creating a documentary.With teamwork,a successful documentary can be done.And also starting in the lowest position in the production team is very big advantage.For instance,you are now the Production Manager and one of your member is missing(researcher),you can be in the part of the researcher because you've already experienced being a researcher.Get the point?

           The third speaker is Mr. Ed Lingao,a multimedia director :) what i've learned from him is,your documentary should not only be informative but also entertaining!It was the most important idea for me in the whole convention.And what i love the most in the convention is the awarding of different personalities!!!The crowd got wild and alive when we saw different tv personalities! :) It was so fun!Hope it will happen again!This convention is very informative yet so fun! :)
